National Theatre Live: Dr Strangelove (Encore)


  • Gloucester Guildhall 23 Eastgate Street Gloucester United Kingdom (map)

Dr. Strangelove
co-adapted by Armando Iannucci
co-adapted and directed by Sean Foley 

Seven-time BAFTA Award-winner Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, The Trip) plays four roles in the world premiere stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece Dr. Strangelove. 
When a rogue U.S General triggers a nuclear attack, a surreal race takes place, seeing the Government and one eccentric scientist scramble to avert global destruction.

This explosively funny satire is led by a world-renowned creative team including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, Veep) and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley (The Upstart Crow, The Play What I Wrote).

Encore screening. Filmed in front of a live audience.
